As a Qualified Mental Health Professional, I would say (based on other people's comments because I did not see the interview), that due to his response to the subject, Michael OBVIOUSLY has not even BEGUN to address his issues. You see, the way that therapy works is that 9 times out of 10 it (therapy) won't "cure" you or make feelings go away, BUT therapy is a tool which helps people to be able to COPE better with their issues. Micheal Jackson's coping skills are in NO WAY "normal". And this just goes to show that parents have an ENORMOUS effect on their children's lives.

What was comforting to know was that he has forgiven his father and moved forward. That speaks volumes to me because too many of us have not reached that point in our lives.

Now about THIS comment.... Darling1, what in the world makes you think that Michael "has FORGIVEN his father and MOVED FORWARD"? It's IMPOSSIBLE for him to have done this because, to ME, he wouldn't be demonstrating these types of behaviors AND, as far as the "moving forward" component goes, this 44-YEAR-OLD man is STUCK in his CHILDHOOD. Now HOW in the world is THAT "moving forward"?
In essence, in my opinion, Michael Jackson has some SERIOUS Mental Health issues which COULD potentially be dangerous. I wouldn't be shocked to learn that he's been hallucinating or hearing voices. Joe Jackson REALLY messed this man up and it's truly, truly sad.
